Subject: Bungie's Position on SOPA

The world is full of mysteries, and shares too few of the answers required. An example of which, is how did I end up in the Brute Zone?

We have been outplayed, we were so easily distracted by our leaders decoys that we let there main force rally at our flanks.

It is time my brethren, it is time for the last stand!

I have literally been warning people about the ACTA and the implications of it for years. Until recently my Bio on XBox live contained a warning about this.

Signing != ratification.

Legislation like this will destroy all of the useful parts of the internet. This useful section doesn't include things like Facebook and other social media / surveillance sites.

One of the more dangerous parts of this in my opinion is the creation of a "global intellectual property (IP)" police.

Corporate influence needs to be removed from politics. The will of one person or a small small minority shouldn't hold any more value because they are wealthier.

Glad to see Bungie taking this position, but in the interests of my usual avoidance of political issues on the internet, I'll bow out here and just follow the discussion from all of you fine, intelligent, non-flaming, non-insulting, non-trolling folks. :-)

>Was going to post the exact same thing.



I wonder how bungie feels about this, maybe they should add a "stop ACTA" to the comm chatter.

Spam is okay, as long as it is not excessive.
Retardation is frowned upon, but somewhat acceptable.

ACTA isn't a U.S. Amendment if you thought it was. It's a multilateral treaty between various countries, so in essence it would create a separate police body over the Internet and various other things. And it WILL screw things up just as much as SOPA and PIPA, if not more. India opposes it and even vows to sabotage it, I have to wonder if they truly will do anything or if it is simply a farce.

Also, nobody seems to be noticing the new OPEN Act. Google and other giants support it, and as expected the entertainment industry opposes. We'll see how this plays out, though I'm cautiously optimistic.

I love SOPA. It's a great thing. In fact, it's one of the best things to happen in a while.

Why?

The younger, online generation just found out that if they pay attention to politics, participate, and speak up about issues they disagree with, they can actually impact legislation.

Hey! Get off our back! Now, if you'll excuse me I have to go try on some skinny jeans while I complain about not having a job and listen to Dubstep.

I was being sincere. It's nice to see people playing an active role in their government.

SOPA is not a game it's serious business, if it isn't stopped then it's gonna mess up the entire internet, of course the younger generation are taking action because it actually matters unlike most political disputes.

I never said it was a game, and I totally agree that it is serious business.
